Dubai: Grading work on the second phase of Dubai World Central (DWC), the massive, multi-phase development centred around the planned international airport in Jebel Ali has moved ahead of schedule. Over 40 per cent of Phase 2 grading is complete and in the past four months 10 million cubic metres of earth has been moved ahead of October's total target of 28 million cubic metres, a DWC statement said. Phase 1 grading, carried out by Dubai-based Trident Transport Company, saw over 43 million cubic metres of earth removed and finished ahead of schedule. "We are highly encouraged with the progress regarding the handling of Phase 2 and look forward to finishing significantly earlier than originally planned," said Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Group.
The project is being developed under the Department of Civil Aviation. The scope of Phase 1 grading work included Dubai Logistics City (DLC) - parcelled plots which will eventually encompass the construction of common facilities and infrastructure, including shared forwarder warehouses, a dedicated, modern labour village as well as peripheral roads and utilities.
